[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 140250, member: 167"] 1. 2 months after the draft these top prospects that everyone was excited about getting will suddenly become "dumb rookies". 2. Hawk this year has a higher cap number than Brett Favre. He just got a nearly 12 million bonus. 3. If a team does not do well in the draft they pay lots of money on undeserving players and draft high again with another chance at expensive mistakes. For years Arizona, Cincinatti, Cleveland, and Detroit drafted high on the list with little to show for it. However, it is not a joke. It is the way it is and the system the league has which will not change much for the forseeable future. On draft day few teams are disappointed. Like opening present on Christmas every team is better off and every fan of every team is happy because the team has "improved". Only the vikings with their inability to turn in a name on time 2 years in a row can screw up draft day. It's not a joke but it is good to approach it with some realism. [/QUOTE]
